Mattie, Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

The little ones got to spend the afternoon outside. When I let them in they were all pretty excited, and Buddy was a little wheezy. It wasn't quite a cough, but sounded like he was trying to hold it back. That's the only time he did it tonight, when they were all riled up. I got Mattie up so she could go outside, but she was having trouble with the slippery floors tonight. After a few more times I got her outside, but she went down pretty quick again. I picked her up once more and she went over and got a drink, then laid outside for a bit. After that she got up on her own and was getting around ok out there. When she came in, she was pretty hesitant to step inside and I think she sort of voluntarily laid down right away. I gave them all their meds, and skipped the Temaril P for Buddy tonight like we talked about. I brought the bowl of water and some food by Mattie. She was pretty thirsty, but not interested in the food. Your mom left a note that she did eat her lunch though, so that's good! Sugar and Jimmy were climbing in my lap again while I sat with Mattie. Sugar kept nudging my hand with her nose! Buddy was talking tonight when I was there. I'm not sure exactly what he said, but kind of sounded like "good boy". Hopefully Mattie and Buddy are feeling better tomorrow morning!

Dakota & Benny

Kota was very talkative when I came to see them today! It was really nice out again for our walk today. Kota was very interested in everything. She was stopping to sniff all over. I think they both would pick up a scent trail at the same time, because all of a sudden they would both veer off the sidewalk in the same direction together! A little butterfly was floating around by us and Kota noticed it right away. She followed it, spun around in a circle after it and tried to eat it! She picked up a couple of those helicopter seeds from the maple trees and played around with them too. As we passed the last corner by Benny's favorite house, he started to do his little frog hop by the fence like usual. Suddenly he jumped and was scared for a second. A huge toad was right there and jumped up when it saw Benny coming! Benny checked it out for a minute, trying to figure out what it was.

Mattie, Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

They were all happy to see me this morning. Jimmy and Buddy both met me at the door, and Jimmy kept bouncing up at me! I let them out to go potty, then got their meds ready. Buddy did really good this morning and didn't cough at all. I mixed some of the treat food with the dry food like I usually do, to see if Mattie would even take it like that. She did, so I gave her more and she ate well for me and had some dry food too. I gave the other three a little bit just to keep them out of her bowl. Sugar was very snuggly with me this morning! She and Jimmy came over and sat in my lap for a little while. Miss Mattie started barking, so I got her up and outside for a bit. When she came back in she had a long drink of water, and I thought she might have more breakfast because she was sort of looking at the bowls like she wanted to. She laid down again in the kitchen and Jimmy snuggled up with her.

Toby, Tyson & Morgan

Toby was up and ready to go this morning. We went for another nice long walk right away. His little sniffer was working overtime! He was stopping to smell everything, and a few times he was so interested in a certain spot that he just wouldn't budge! We heard a rooster as we went along, and he perked his ears up, then looked at me like he was asking, "What was that?" When we got home I let him play out in the backyard for awhile. The kitties were waiting for us when we got back. I spent some time with Tyson and Morgan while Toby was exploring. They both followed me around and came to me for attention as soon as they knew Toby wasn't there to chase them away! Tyson was rolling around for me and loving up every minute. Morgan was talking to me like usual. He even was a little playful this morning and was batting and my hands, then back to purring while I pet him. Toby came back inside and I pet him for awhile too before it was time to go.
